X-Com: Enemy UnknownFollow

I would absolutely love XCOM if it weren't for 2 things. Some of the bugs are pretty vicious, especially when trying to do Classic Ironman (or Ironman of any sort, really.) Having a Muton Elite teleport next to my party sucks, especially if its position negates my cover.

The other problem I have is the constant delays throughout the entire game. Every time you do pretty much anything there are little cut scenes. Launching the interceptor or starting a mission. My escape key has never seen so much use. During combat is pretty bad, as each time you move a unit it drags the camera with it, and when the aliens take their turn the camera is locked into place if they aren't visible. Its especially bothersome if you have to restart, say during an Iron Man campaign, because it drags out each battle far longer than it needs to.

I really like the combat itself, and the random units I like as it forces a different play style depending on what type of squad you get. All the basic mechanics that make up the game I like, its just I wish they wouldn't keep freezing my controls.

Beat it on normal. Considering going back to maybe play again after I finish Dishonored. Honestly, it just made me pine for XCOM. I'm waiting for the complete pack to go on sale again and going to snag it. I easily dropped 200+ hours into the PS1 version when it first came out. Played the others later.

It's ok. Very repetitive. Feels dumbed down. By the end, my squad was basically eschewing cover and easily finishing fights within a few rounds. 2xHeavy, 2XSniper, Support, Assault. Titan/Plasma everything, all maxed out. If I had to assign XCOM EU an arbitrary score, I'd say 7/10. A little disappointing though since I let myself get so hyped for it. Got the PC version with the patch and the hard book.
